I'm a freelance creative who loves inspiring others to pursue their passions.
I got my first camera in high school and fell in love with taking photos. When my oldest son was born, I bought my first digital camera (which was a whopping 3.2 megapixels and the best specs available at the time 😂) and took pics of him constantly. People started asking me to take photos for them and I realized I had an eye for it. From that point on, I did everything I could to learn more about photography and cameras.
In the last 20 years, I’ve had partners in a couple photography studios, edited at least a million photos, and shot all around the world.
It wasn’t until I moved to Houston in 2015 that I discovered what I loved about photography. My favorite part of this whole thing is helping you see yourself in the best light and creating a beautiful image for you to share with the world.
I’ve worked with celebrities like Kate Upton, Justin Verlander, Mannie Fresh, Bun B, TQ, and KirkoBangz. I’ve been to Uganda, India, China, Australia, Scotland, England, and more.
But my heart is to document adoptions, to share heartfelt stories, and to help you realize your purpose and passion can absolutely fuel your life. When I started this, I had big dreams but my world was so small. By taking a few risks, stepping outside my comfort zone, and pursuing things that light me up, I expanded my world and YOU CAN DO THAT, TOO.
Stop dreaming and start doing. ❤️
How I work
My goal is to leave you happier than you imagined. I want you to walk away saying, “WOW! I didn’t know I could look like this!”
I consider myself to be a lifestyle photographer who also takes great portraits. I’m not a touchy, feely photographer. I’m not going to “pose” you as much as simply “direct” you. There will be some walking, playing with your hair, adjusting your watch, and lots of laughing.
I can shoot in 20 minutes what most photographers take an hour or more to shoot. This comes from the ability to make you comfortable from the start. Twenty years of experience will do that. 😏
